Hawaiian Value of the Month
|
|
Ho’omau – To carry on or persevere.
|
|
|
Aloha!
The concept of Ho’omau encourages endurance, persistence, and not giving up, especially when faced with challenges.
Bringing in the New Year, we align with our highest desires, and set goals to attain them.
This requires overcoming the challenges associated with achieving successful resolutions, which is consistent with our Hawaiian Value of Ho’omau. We want to continue doing great things and strive to do them even better in the coming year. In researching this Hawaiian Value, I came upon a creative writer, named Leialoha. She created the Ho’omau Challenge. She says, “The Ho’omau challenge can help you overcome these self doubts, and even self abuse. By learning how to set goals and make plans to reach them, you can learn what it means to be steady and constant, no matter what challenges might come your way.”

Home for the Holidays: The Rise of Multi-Generational Home Buying
|
|
The concept of multi-generational housing— homes that have adult siblings, adult children over the age of 18, parents, and/or grandparents residing with the primary home buyer — has been gaining traction over the past decade. According to this year’s Profile of Home Buyers and Sellers, 17 percent of home purchased last year were multi-generational households, the highest proportion since NAR began recording this figure in 2013.

2025-2029 Five-Year Housing Market Predictions
|
|
The housing market is expected to experience moderate growth in existing home sales as buyers adapt to elevated prices and mortgage rates, with potential surges if rates decline. Regional differences in real estate commission policies and MLS listing practices may emerge before national standards are established. Meanwhile, newly built homes will help address inventory shortages, particularly as builders offer mortgage rate incentives. Mortgage rates are projected to hover between 6% and 7%, barring a recession, while short-term lending rates are anticipated to decrease through 2026.

“I highly recommend Dave for all your real estate requirements“
|
|
Dave is an excellent realtor. He goes above and beyond what most realtors do. He and I, working as a team just completed a complicated and difficult transaction. As I was buying a land CPR there was much negotiating with the sellers regarding the fixture count allocations. And then, as one of the unit was created as a ‘buffer unit’ for the seller’s adjacent property, we managed to eventually all agree on a Landscape License agreement.
All the while Dave was available and attentive to my needs as a buyer. I highly recommend Dave for all your real estate requirements.
